The
Name of YHWH (pronounced Yah-whey) was once very greatly revered and acknowledged,
so much so that many were named after His Name as a way to show honour and respect. Over the years attempts were made to hide the Name of Yahweh,
the practice of using the Name was almost entirely lost as tradition of
Christians and Jews taught disregard for the Name of Yahweh. The prophets of
Yahweh foretold this, but they also said that His Name would not always
be treated with disdain. Today there is a growing revelation about the
restoration of the Covenant Name of YHWH. The following are Hebrew
Names ending in Yah or Yahu, a short abbreviated form of the personal Name of
the Creator Yahweh, in English the names end with “iah” or “jah”.

"And
Moses said unto Elohim, behold, when I come
unto the children of Israel, and shall say
unto them, The Elohim of your fathers has sent me unto
you; and they shall say to me, What is his Name?
What shall I say unto them?" Shemot 3:13 |
The Israelites carried with them the knowledge of their forefathers
Avraham, Yitzak and Ya'akov they were also very aware of what Yoseph
did in saving Egypt from famine. Bahr Yusuf "the Canal of
Yoseph" remains today as a testimony of what Joseph accomplished
while in Egypt. But much more than the many great
architectural wonders accomplished by Yoseph, was the fact that the
Israelites carried the bones of Yoseph with them to rest in the Land
of Israel.
|
"And
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had
sworn a charge to the children of Israel, saying,
'Elohim will surely visit you; and you shall carry up my
bones along with you.'"
Shemot 13:19 |
The Scriptures also make it very clear that Abraham knew the Name of
YHWH and prayed to YHWH using His ZEKER (Memorial)
Name.
|
"And
Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Yireh: as
it is said to this day, In the mount of YHWH it shall be
seen." B'resheet 22:14 |
We also have archeological evidence from all over the globe of the
Name of YHWH being known throughout the ancient world, from Ebla to
New Mexico USA, Paleo Hebrew inscriptions are revealing that YAHWEH
is the only One True Elohim.
It is also known that the Name of YHWH is an aspirant, which means
that it must be breathed along with being pronounced. To
properly understand the revelation of the Name one must say it as it
was revealed. While you inhale say the name "YAH", as you
exhale say "WEH", (pronounced YAH-WHEY). Saying His Name
reminds us that YHWH is the Life Giver, His Name represents our
life, and our individual spirits.
Imagine the predicament Moshe found himself in when he was to go up
to Pharaoh and tell him to let the people of YHWH go. How
would Moshe explain that YHWH is the Life Giver? The only One True
Elohim? Moshe had much more than a theoretical experience with
YHWH, Moshe had seen the Light of Yahweh appear as a flame.
|
"And the
angel of YHWH appeared unto him in a flame of fire out
of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the
bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
And Moshe said, I will now turn aside, and see this
great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when
YHWH saw that he turned aside to see, Elohim called unto
him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moshe,
Moshe. And he said, Hineni. And he said, Do
not come closer: take your shoes from off your feet, for
the place where you stand is holy ground. Moreover
he said, I am the Elohim of your father, the Elohim of
Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob.
And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon
Elohim." Shemot 3:1-5 |
Moshe faced a dilemma that each one of us faces when we try to speak
the things of YHWH into the material world. How does one go
about describing who YHWH is? this is the question Moshe asked of
YHWH. Moshe was given the authority of YHWH to speak to
Pharaoh, Moshe had the authority of his Father YHWH with him each
step of the way, you and I also have the authority of YHWH provided
we confess His Name in Truth, according to His Word which is Torah
and His Mashiyach. Each of us seems to have a tendency to
think, "who am I to speak to Pharaoh?" we know also that by this
weakness in our flesh we are flatly denying our Father, which is
akin to thinking of ourselves as illegitimate children. Many
people are ashamed to speak the Name of YHWH in circles where it is
not traditionally spoken, because of religious traditions.
Many people are offended to hear someone speak the Name of Yahweh,
some are what YHWH would call, "holier than thou", others are
"carnally minded", but most suffer with the "fear of man". We
must each as ourselves where our loyalty lies. A very wealthy
Jew of the 1800's had a coffin brought inside his house and every
day he would climb into the coffin and say something to himself
like, "I'm one day closer". This is how Moshe Montefiore gave
himself a reality check regarding his massive amount of wealth and
philanthropy. We don't need to lay in our coffins to ask
ourselves another very similar but more important question.
How sure are we about the next reality after death? The one
who holds the Keys to Life and Death is YHWH through His Mashiyach.
It seems to me that this is good enough reason that we should Fear
Him, rather than man, wouldn't you think so?
YHWH be with you,
Baruch Ben Daniel |
